Badum!

The sound of drums died down.

The compet.i.tors then each returned to their respective positions.

Just as they brushed past one another…

Helian Jiao Er lowered her voice and spoke by Wei Wei’s ear. “If you don’t want to lose miserably, I advise you to quickly scram, and after that, hide in a secluded place on a dest.i.tute mountain. Know your place and peacefully live out your next life! Otherwise, heh, don’t count on yourself able to be able to encounter such good luck several times like you have in the past!”

Facing this kind of provocation, Helian Wei Wei only raised her brows and smiled with an att.i.tude that no one else could fathom. After all, when a dog bit you, you couldn’t bite it in return, right?

“Girl, you’re being looked down upon by people again.” Yuan Ming’s lazy voice transmitted from the void.

Wei Wei’s lips curved a little as she again glanced over at the gambling joint. “What I wanted was this effect.”

“Why? You finally want to show you real strength?” Yuan Ming became excited.

Wei Wei looked at the armament compet.i.tors slowly getting pushed upstage not very far away, and didn’t speak at all. It’s only that the smile by the side of her lips even made the liquid inside Yuan Ming’s blood vessels boil immediately afterwards!

“Young Master.” While standing behind Jing Wu Shuang in order to serve him, when Uncle Liang saw Wei Wei’s appearance onstage. Pure astonishment streaked across his eyes. “That face of hers…”

Jing Wu Shuang faintly ‘mm hm’d a sound. His smooth as jade handsome appearance still didn’t make any expression, and only sipped a mouthful of tea. His eyes only blandly swept towards the girl standing as firm as a pine tree in the middle of the convention hall with her eyelashes hanging down slightly.

Uncle Liang watched his young master’s not cold not hot (apathetic) manner and thought to himself that’s just like his young master to keep his composure in this way.

Looking at Helian Wei Wei’s current face, he even wondered a little if that G.o.ddess-like person that he’d seen previously was a real person or was a mirage.

That…..wasn’t that skin just a bit too dark?

It’s basically because of the skin color, yet all of the virtues she possessed seemed as if they’d all been concealed, buried within the dust, making her look not pleasing to the eye at all.

“Clang!”

The noise from wooden hammer hitting the gong immediately made Uncle Liang’s focus return.

The compet.i.tion formally began!

Eighteen pieces of armaments, one behind the other, were arranged on top of the wooden table. Their shapes were all different. The texture and quality of the materials used were also different.

Each armament had their own application. Everyone of them came from the hands of armament masters.

Wanting to choose the armament forged by Young Master Wu Shuang from among so many armaments, simply was as a trial within a trial.

People who were familiar with Young Master Wu Shuang could still make some comparisons based on his previous habits, and from that, choose an armament from among them.

However, those people not familiar with Young Master Wu Shuang, what could they do?

There would be absolutely no leads, like fis.h.i.+ng up a needle from the ocean.

The newly minted armament masters took a glance at each other. One after another they saw the distress within the respective person’s eyes.

Even Helian Jiao Er showed some hesitation in her decisions.

As a matter of fact, when a martial artist chooses an armament, they’d base it on whether the armament emitted a small or large amount of martial qi in order to make a decision.

The stronger the martial qi, the better that made the armament.

Helian Jiao Er herself was a ninth level martial artist. Her resonance with armaments could be considered excellent among this group of people.

Yet it’s obvious that she was wavering between that jade green long double-edged sword and the dark tortoise bow and arrow.

There was also a most important consideration when choosing an armament, and that was that speed was very important!

If you looked favorably upon an armament, and your opponent also looked favorably at the same armament, then whoever could make a grab and keep a hold on it would be considered the winner.

That’s why when the gong sounded, everybody rushed in front of the armaments and scrambled to feel and stroke those armaments as if they were insane.

Only Wei Wei didn’t immediately move. Instead, sliding over every inch of those armaments’ surface, the light in her eyes was so profound it made people unable to see through what she was thinking.

Some people burst into laughter beneath the stage. “Look at her, couldn’t be she’s been struck dumb, right?”

“I reckon she simply didn’t know which armament to aim for. Not having qi, indeed it’s impossible to even have the most basic ability to react.”
